Adventures of Blob: Blacksmithing Vol. 1

Recommended Posts

The goal of smithing is to increase the basic stats of gear. The basic stat for weapons is Damage and for armor-items it is armor-effectiveness. Smithing does not influence armor-value or enchantment boni like "-Increases Strength by x points".

Skills:

Blacksmithing (influences max improvement levels and success chance)

Mining (main source for ingots)

Disenchanting (main source for blueprints and charging state capsules)

Conjuration (main source for capsules)

complementary skills:

Enchanting (useful to enchant freshly forged items with runes/bonus)

1.1 Basics:

To craft an item, one only needs 3 things: A Blueprint, Ingots and a charged State-Capsule.

-1.11 Ingots:

Ingots are gained by melting down ores:

Which ore and ingot one can get depends on ones mining skill.

collecting mechanics: Every tick (~10 sec) while collecting/smelting a dice roll with your particular success chance occurs. Passing this roll grants between x to y ores. I do not know the exact numbers for x and y and if they are scaled with skill level or not (personal observations were x=1, y=20).

An Ingots crafting potential plays an important role in smithing.

The item level of an ingot determines if one can use it for an particular blueprint. However, this follows a tiered structure rather than absolute levels:

@Dan Something i'd like to point out, blueprints are no longer supposed to generate at different rarities, the state capsule is meant to convey the various effective multiplier. We need to remove the blueprint from the equation and plug in the state capsule's rarity value.

Have some level 1-5 items (gear, weapons, etc... items with mods) with you then go collect some level 1-5 gems at one of the lakes. When you open the window to start collecting gems, you will notice 2 sets or rows of gems. Collect 5-10 gems from the first position (far left) of each set or row. One type of gem is the charge capsule the other is the storage. (This collecting of gems starts your conjuration skill, once you collect the first one, you now have the skill. Place a skill point in it to raise it to 1+1).

Now take your gems and gear to a city with a disenchant/enchant vendor. Nahr Tejjan has such. When you open the disenchant menu, you will see gear in your menu. Note: all gear in your bag will display here so only select the items you want to attempt to disenchant.

Select an item, then select a charge capsule and last selection is the storage gem. Make the attempt by selecting ok and even if you fail, you should gain the disenchant ability.
